When Director of Development Taylor Duda approached me with the opportunity to photograph shelter animals for their lottery calendar, I couldn’t say, “yes” fast enough.

As a lifelong lover of animals, and a rescue pet owner myself, I was so privileged to capture some of the human society animals in unique themed settings. They all were so loving, full of energy, and deserving of a home of their own. I encourage everyone to reach out to their local animal shelter when looking for a furry friend.
